Makers of a movie about a failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler will not be allowed to use a German memorial site, but this is unrelated to the fact star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, the finance ministry said yesterday. Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung had made it clear the filmmakers could not shoot at any military sites as long as Cruise plays hero Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg because of his link to Scientology. Berlin regards it as a cult masquerading as a religion to make money, a view Scientology leaders reject.
